Comment 18 for bug 1009878

I was traveling this week and had to connect to a lot of foreign wireless networks. Almost all of them were extremely unstable. Usually they stop working immediately after connecting, and sometimes unloading/reloading the module will allow it to work for a while before it happens again. It appears my home wireless access point is the exception in stability.

I updated to the 3.2.0-29-generic kernel (from -27) but saw no change.

I tried installing linux-backports-modules-cw-29, no improvement. Actually after more sustained use it seemed worse with compat-wireless installed, and I experienced a hard system crash at one point.

I'm not sure I want to go down the ndiswrapper rabbit hole... that seems counterproductive. I will try it if requested and if it might make my machine more useful.

This is a terrible bug... my computer is almost useless. Any workarounds would be greatly appreciated
